Hampden Park will be the centre of attention when Scotland and Greece lock horns in an eagerly-awaited World Cup qualifier. Scotland aim to build on a 2-0 win over Belarus and they will continue relying on their rock-solid defence in Thursday’s showdown. Veteran goalkeeper Craig Gordon (Hearts) has received a surprising call-up, while his teammate Lawrence Shankland has been omitted. Celtic defenders Kieran Tierney and Anthony Ralston are both back to the squad after missing the last window with injuries.
Ivan Jovanovic’s troops, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Denmark, but a close encounter is on the cards in Glasgow as Greece and Scotland seem to be evenly matched at the moment. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Vangelis Pavlidis, who has been scoring goals for fun with Benfica in the early stages of the season.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Thursday 9 October 2025 at 19:45.
